"Downtown's dormant nightlife-slash-cafeteria haunt Clifton's Republic is finally reopening over the next few months, and the first venue to return is its top-floor tiki lounge Pacific Seas. Reservations are required and only available Saturdays and Sundays currently, but otherwise expect the same flamboyantly garnished rum drinks and impressively restored tropical island decor (see the full-on speedboat parked in the middle of the bar).
